Description
Our rooms are located in an elegant Art Nouveau building from the early 1900s in the historic center of Palermo, within the renowned Arab quarter of the Kalsa. The two rooms have private bathrooms and bright windows overlooking the lush garden of Palazzo Jung. Stanza Luna welcomes you in an alcove bed with a private SPA equipped with a Finnish sauna and a Jacuzzi for couples. Stanza Sirio amazes you with the warmth of its furnishings, in a blaze of art and Sicilianity.
The Kalsa district blends in with the city's Arab history and at the same time laps against the waterfront of Palermo's historic centre. The house overlooks Piazza della Magione, significant for the city not only for its ancient history, but also for being the place where two of our fellow citizens to whose memory we are most attached grew up: Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Here their legacy can be breathed. But the Kalsa is also a place where astonishing monuments and sumptuous Baroque façades of ancient nobility intertwine with winding alleys like snake tails slipping down to the sea, or where intersecting roots between earth and sky of mastodontic trees devour squares stretched out like sheets to dry in the sun. And again, the Kalsa is a place of life, the real life of the people, of children playing in the square and in the streets, of mothers and fathers on the benches amidst the chatter and of the nights, the clubs, the live music in the streets, all in a mixture of Sicilian and Italian and other various languages that meet and sometimes recognise each other.

We stayed for two nights and had a great time. From the welcome by Mr. Francesco to the relaxation offered by the spa area. The location is excellent, close to the station and in Piazza Magione, which has many bars and restaurants.
